Improve your Relationships with NLP (1 day)

Improve your Relationships with NLP (1 day)

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a model which describes the fundamental dynamic between our mind and our body, emotions and behaviour. It is a psychology of interpersonal (between people) and intrapersonal (within ourselves) intelligence and communication. Since its conception by Bandler and Grinder in the mid-70’s NLP has been used successfully in many fields including: business, coaching, therapy, training and teaching; in fact, its principles are applied anywhere where communicating clearly and successfully is required.

One of NLP’s basic principles (pre-suppositions) is that everyone is doing the best they can with the resources they have available.

Building on this principle, this course is designed to assist you to:

• untap some of your own previously unrecognised or unreleased resources
• step into someone else’s model of the world through a greater awareness of why they are communicating and behaving as they are
• use your enhanced resources and awareness of others to communicate even more successfully and, consequently, to develop more effective relationships
